I did mine a year ago this November. It was second time lucky. Even lost the examiner for ten minutes, but he still passed me. As has already been said. Don't panic about mistakes, just keep going. Remember, the examiner is looking for basic competence and safety, Not an audition for the police motorcycle display team.
Good luck.

good luck with it, to echo what has been said above, just relax and take your time, don't fret about the things you miss otherwise you will do worse.
All the best and don't forget to let us know how you do

relax, enjoy and treat it like nobody is there but you!

It will also be the quickest time ever to fly by.

Good luck you will be fine!

I always say this. Remember to cancel the indies!! I still ride around pressing the cancel switch from time to time.

my instructor did a big speech just before my test

"stop being so hard on yourself, we've done your training and taught your things to such a high standard up here *holds hand above head* but the examiner is looking for you to ride safely to around this level *lowers hand to shoulder level*, so all that extra stuff like looking both ways when you ride through a green light at cross roads, is just to cement the examiners belief in your riding & observational skills"

or words to that effect. So just take a deep breath, get on the bike, and just ride it as you've been taught to. If you *think* you've just made a mistake - forget about it, or you'll lose your focus on the task in hand = riding safely

apart from that, good luck!
